    If Being Light-Skinned Is A Superpower, I Should Be President

    By mmilam  |  Posted January 14, 2010  |  Chicago, Illinois
     

    Harry Reid's comments about Obama getting the presidency because he's light-skinned are short-sighted. There's nothing powerful about being light-skinned. To me, you catch more hell because you are light-skinned. That however isn't why Jesse Jackson lost, nor why Al Sharpton didn't win. Obama won because of who he is, not what his race is.
